This non-profit organization generates funds for research as well as promotes awareness about rare ailments. In June 2014, they donated money to the ‘University of Minnesota’ for Fanconi anemia research.
Despite the fact that their son was uninformed of his sickness, the Fisher family’s health situation became public due to a 2012 College Game Day film called “Will to Fight.” Ethan found out about it from his peers and told his parents. They explained without expanding on potential risks. Despite their divorce, his parents continue to co-parent him. Ethan has quarterly blood tests and yearly bone marrow evaluations at the ‘University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital.’
Since 2011, the ‘Kidz1stFund’ has raised $2 million. Candi, as head of the non-profit, regularly organizes and participates in fundraising initiatives. On June 11, 2015, the couple announced their mutual decision to divorce after 22 years of marriage in a joint statement.

She was granted $3.4 million in alimony and $4,500 per month in child support.
